Wk3-1 Discussion Boards: Breaking the norm


Topic #1: Briefly share any experiences you’ve had when you’ve had a part in introducing a new program or a new way to do things at your job site. Please share any triumphs or frustrations you’ve had trying to improve the system or when you’ve pioneered or piloted some outside the norm.

As with most new experiences, it can be frustrating to live in the fear of the unknown.  With new projects and tools always emerging, it is important to surround oneself in an environment that encourages discovery.  I feel fortunate being in the EMDT program and having learned first hand how to keep pushing forward.  A phrase that stuck with me from earlier in the program is “failing forward” which basically embraces the mindset of learning from your mistakes and  remaining encouraged throughout the learning process.
